Spell-crafting is the most intriguing of Two Worlds II's crafting systems. But this new system, which turns the useless into the useful, is a considerable improvement. When I learned that Two Worlds II did away with the first game's item-stacking mechanic, I was dismayed it was one of the things that kept me playing. Through the metallurgy skill, these can be used to improve the stats of your favourite weapons and armour so they grow with you. A bag bursting with looted weapons doesn't necessarily mean a trip back to town to offload at the vendor, as any weapon or item of apparel can be broken down on the fly to its base components. You find yourself running at breakneck speed through the countryside, snatching indigenous herbs without pause and emptying foes' pockets, post-massacre, with Dyson-like efficiency.Ī similarly elegant system applies to weapon-modding. Looting can be done from a distance, and a single click sucks everything into your backpack. The entire process is affably simple, too. It's almost a meta-commentary on recycling.īasic alchemy is available pretty early on, and lets you combine reagents into healing, mana, and stat-buff or resistance potions. In fact, absolutely everything is worth looting, as the game's superb crafting systems enable you to repurpose every piece of trash in your backpack to useful ends. But even the gizzards of a lowly hyena are worth collecting in Two Worlds II. Loot a slain animal and, with a squelchy audio cue, you'll fish out one of its meaty gasbags and flop it into your backpack. The sequel goes one better: it's got a lot of lung. As fantasy action-RPGs go, 2007's Two Worlds may have been a bit shonky, but it certainly had a lot of heart.
